Judah Druck to Receive the 2023 Arthur T. Pfefer Memorial Award from the Twin Cities Cardozo Society

Maslon is pleased to announce that Judah Druck, a partner in Maslon's Litigation Group, will be honored with the 2023 Arthur T. Pfefer Memorial Award from the Twin Cities Cardozo Society at its annual dinner on June 22.

The award is given to a Jewish law student or attorney age 35 or younger who exhibits ambition and determination, realizes academic or professional success, and has a strong commitment to the Jewish and general community. It is named for Arthur T. Pfefer, who was raised in St. Paul and earned a law degree with honors at the University of Minnesota in 1967. Upon graduation, Pfefer was hired by the Maslon firm, then known as Maslon Edelman Borman & Brand, but before starting his legal career he was deployed to Vietnam as a captain in the U.S. Army. He was killed in action in Pleiku, Vietnam, on July 25, 1969.

Judah represents corporate and individual policyholders in insurance coverage and complex business disputes, advising clients and litigating actions concerning product liabilities, environmental and toxic tort liabilities, directors and officers-related liabilities, first-party property loss, business interruption, and broker negligence. He also maintains a robust commercial litigation practice spanning multiple industries and forums, ranging from representing investment banking firms in federal appeals to litigating putative class actions under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

A committed member of the Jewish community, Judah was elected last year to the board of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas (JCRC). He also serves as president of Congregation Darchei Noam in St. Louis Park.

The Twin Cities Cardozo Society is an affinity group for Jewish attorneys, judges, and law students, sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Greater St. Paul and the Minneapolis Jewish Federation. Its mission is to strengthen bonds among legal professionals through educational, social and philanthropic activities, and offer opportunities for communal involvement and leadership.
